sharon

Just been onto the site.You can do searches already.Just done my surname and printed out the summary of finds.
You can only view transcripts by buying 10 credits cost quoted 83p-1.16 depending on package or the original page for 30 credits cost 2.50-3.48.
All will be available later in 2009 to subscribers of Findmypast.

I thought they removed it on 30 December and said it would be 6 months before it was online? I must have missed something.

Oh, just seen over on tips that it has relaunched early - wow

Message from 1911.co.uk:

1911 Census Launches Tomorrow

We wanted you to be the first to know that the 1911census.co.uk website launches officially tomorrow.

We have added many more of the counties that were unavailable on the beta site over Christmas, including Lancashire, Essex, Kent, Yorkshire (West Riding), Nottinghamshire and Herefordshire. We continue to scan the remainder of the census and will make the remaining counties available as soon as possible. .

We expect the site to be very busy at first, and so we have taken a number of measures to make sure that as many people as possible can get their searches completed successfully. The first is that we have deliberately restricted some of the search functions on the site, meaning that the search is not as flexible as it will be later on. Secondly, we are only allowing users to download original pages, rather than view them directly on the website.

Obviously, we will 'unlock' the powerful search features and switch on image viewers as soon as possible after launch and let you know by email and via the blog when we have done this.

During launch, if the site becomes exceptionally busy, we will also restrict the number of new people entering the site. We want to allow the people who are already using the site to complete their searches rather than make the site impossibly slow for everybody. We have built the site to withstand a very large (but not infinite) number of visitors, so if you find that you are not being allowed in, please bear with us. Real-time service updates can be found on our blog, which we advise you to check frequently for the latest news.

Finally, we know many of you are as excited as we are to see the remaining counties that will become available over the coming months. However, we cannot give you specific launch dates for these remaining counties - we are continuing to scan the census into the spring and anticipate that the census will be complete by this summer

Well a couple of weeks ago some of us were beta testing it sheena. But I believe they said about 6 months for general use.

Hi does any one know when the 1911 census will be available for England and Scotland?

Many thanks
